History is a conversation between present and past
Capital quote
The tagline for Capital history here is where the past and present talk. One of my inspirations for this was the great quote below. I love the way it captures the dynamism, complexity and challenge of history.
History is a conversation and sometimes a shouting match between present and past, though often the voices we most want to hear are barely audible.
— Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
